“Mine is not an uber car” — Empress Gifty throws shade at Afia Schwarzenegger

Ghanaian gospel musician Empress Gifty, known privately as Gifty Adorye, has set social media abuzz after making remarks about owning a brand-new vehicle, in what many interpret as an indirect jab at media personality Afia Schwarzenegger.

The singer’s comments, particularly her statement that “mine is not an Uber car,” have sparked widespread speculation online, with followers and commentators suggesting the remark was aimed at Afia Schwarzenegger amid an apparent rift between the two.

Empress Gifty’s reference to owning a new vehicle, paired with the pointed Uber comparison, appeared designed to draw a distinction between her own possession and what she implied was a lesser situation. The phrasing suggested she was responding to prior comments or claims, though neither party had issued a direct statement naming the other at the time of the report.

Social media users were quick to connect the dots, with many concluding that the gospel musician’s remarks were directed at the outspoken media personality. The exchange, though indirect, has become a talking point among fans and followers of both figures, generating discussion and debate online.

The two personalities have previously been associated with public exchanges, and Empress Gifty’s latest comments appear to continue that pattern, albeit through veiled references rather than direct confrontation. The singer’s choice of words has been scrutinised for its implied meaning, with the Uber comparison drawing particular attention.

Neither Empress Gifty nor Afia Schwarzenegger has publicly addressed the matter beyond the singer’s remarks, leaving room for continued speculation about the nature of their relationship and the context behind the comments.

The incident highlights the attention social media pays to exchanges between Ghanaian public figures, where indirect remarks often spark wider conversations and interpretations. Fans are now watching to see whether the matter escalates or draws a response from Afia Schwarzenegger, as the online discussion continues to build around Empress Gifty’s pointed statement.
